Why the Appliances That Clean Your Home Need Cleaning Too

If you live in Orem, Provo, or anywhere in Utah County, you rely on your dishwasher and washing machine every single week. These hardworking appliances quietly handle the dirt, grease, and grime of daily life — yet most homeowners never think to clean the machines that do the cleaning. Over time, residue, hard water minerals, and trapped debris build up inside, which means your dishes come out spotted, your clothes smell musty, and your appliances work harder than they should.

At ServiCleaning LLC, we help families and businesses across Utah County keep every corner of their homes fresh and healthy. Today we are sharing a simple, effective guide to deep cleaning your dishwasher and washing machine — two tasks that make a surprising difference in how clean your whole home feels.

Deep Cleaning Your Dishwasher

Utah County’s notoriously hard water leaves mineral deposits on everything it touches, including the inside of your dishwasher. Here is how to restore it:

  • Clear the filter: Remove the bottom filter basket and rinse away food particles and grease. Soak it in warm soapy water if needed.
  • Wipe the door seal: Grime loves to hide along the rubber gasket. Wipe it down with a damp cloth and a little white vinegar.
  • Run a vinegar cycle: Place a cup of white vinegar on the top rack and run a hot-water cycle with no dishes. This dissolves mineral buildup.
  • Follow with baking soda: Sprinkle a cup of baking soda across the bottom and run a short hot cycle to neutralize odors.
  • Wipe the exterior: Don’t forget the stainless steel or white finish — a microfiber cloth keeps it streak-free.

Do this once a month and your glassware will sparkle again.

Deep Cleaning Your Washing Machine

That “clean laundry” smell should be fresh, not musty. Here is how to refresh your washer:

  • Run a hot empty cycle with two cups of white vinegar to break down detergent residue and mold.
  • Clean the detergent drawer by soaking it in warm water and scrubbing away built-up fabric softener.
  • Wipe the door gasket on front-loaders — this is where mildew hides. Dry it thoroughly afterward.
  • Leave the lid or door open between loads so moisture can escape.
  • Clean the exterior and dials for a polished finish.
